SH2-171 3D

Also known as NGC 7822, The Teddy Bear Nebula. Found in the constellation of Cepheus and lies about 2,500 - 3,000 light years away.

 

Can you see the 3D?

Stare at the middle of the image and try to go cross eyed. You should see a third image start to appear in between the two, whilst going ALMOST cross eyed, try to focus on the middle image.

Any luck?

Still struggling to see it?

Try moving a little further away from your screen.

 

Boring techie bit:

Skywatcher Quattro 8" Newtonian Reflector steel tube with the f4 aplanatic coma corrector, Skywatcher EQ6 R pro mount, Altair Starwave 50mm guide scope, ZWO asi120mm guide camera mini, ZWO asi533mc pro cooled to -10c gain 100, Optolong L'enhance 2" filter, ZWO asiair plus.

Darks, Flats & Bias.

Stacked with DeepSkyStacker and processed in StarTools.
